Essentially, engraving involves making indentations or scratches of varying depths on hard surfaces, such as metal or glass, to create a design or image. Professionally, an engraver engraves letters and patterns, leaving various designs according to the engraver's wishes. Engraving has a very long history and is one of the oldest decorative techniques, dating back to 2000 BC. Over the years, it has developed significantly, gaining immense popularity. In the jewelry industry, laser engraving and diamond engraving are the most popular. Both have their advantages, and each technique is chosen by specialists depending on the product and the type of engraving.
What should the engraving be like?
The most important thing is that the engraving is aesthetically pleasing and conveys the right message. Another, equally important, consideration is that it be legible. Jewelry is an element of everyday or evening styling, and we simply want it to be pleasing to the eye. Jewelry engravings should usually be concise and based on a few or a dozen characters that convey the essence of what we want to express. Jewelry usually doesn't have much space, so the message should be concise while still expressing what we care about. Engravings usually add value to the jewelry or watches we gift to a chosen person. They're usually discreet, as the message is meant to specifically resonate with the recipient and remind them of the gift or the event.
What can be engraved?
Engraving is possible on almost any piece of jewelry, even relatively small pieces. However, it's important that the surface is as flat as possible.
The following items are most frequently engraved:
- wedding rings,
- rings, including engagement rings,
- bracelets,
- pendants,
- bracelet and necklace plaques,
- dog tags,
- baptismal keepsakes, such as silver spoons,
Jewelry engraving font
When choosing jewelry engraving, we choose not only the design but also the font size and type. We also offer engraving of simple graphic symbols, such as a heart or an infinity symbol. We select the engraving font based on the product type and engraving style. We use legible and clear fonts, which we know from experience are clear and attractive. Of course, customers can choose the font, and then we engrave according to their specifications. We strive to meet customer requests while drawing on the experience and knowledge of our engraving experts.
Engraved jewelry - perfect for a gift
We prepare gifts to please, and personalized gifts are even more satisfying because they demonstrate the effort we put into creating them. Engraved jewelry or watches are unique and will remain a treasured keepsake for a lifetime. Even gold jewelry with the most precious stone then takes on sentimental value, which, in the eyes of the recipient, outweighs the material value of the item.
Functional engraving
Engraved jewelry is usually made to order as a gift, but that's not the only purpose for this type of gift. It can also have a more functional purpose. For example, we can engrave information about your health, a popular choice for diabetics. Similarly, we can include information about your blood type on the jewelry, and while this information isn't something paramedics will take for granted, it can be a helpful clue in providing assistance. Engraving is an art known for millennia and developed over the years. Besides its decorative nature and purpose, it adds unique value by highlighting our commitment and serving as a memento of important moments. So, if you're thinking about a gift for someone important, consider ordering an engraving.
